Some thought that picture of Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi holding up an autographed Ukrainian flag was a Photoshop job, but it wasn’t. More than one person claimed to have been suspended by Twitter for posting the photo with less-than-supportive comments.
There have been some less-than-successful attempts to show unity with Ukraine by displaying its flag. Remember when the American Federation of Teachers union and Randi Weingarten posted a photo of them holding up “Stand With Ukraine” flags, except the flags were upside-down? And then they tried to use Photoshop to turn the flags the right way up. And then they gave up and deleted it.
And then there was this monstrosity โฆ this editor doesn’t understand how there wasn’t more outrage over this:
What the hell is that?
Not everyone was thrilled by Ukrainian UN official Sergiy Kyslytsya’s “unity” post Wednesday night, either:

Can we stop trying to merge the Ukrainian and American flags? It’s not that much to ask, is it? Just put a Ukrainian flag in your Twitter handle and be done with it.
